Chapter Forty-Seven: Trials along the way
Hearing Gu Laixi's invitation, the two of them were not satisfied, and they hurriedly agreed.
"This grain should be enough for your family of five to eat for a while, and after a while, someone will be sent to pick up your family and go to the East China Sea. But the dog baby and the girl I am really useful, you don't have to go with us today, wait a few days for a few of us to finish our errands, and then come back to pick them up. Gu Laixi said to the two, "I don't know if the dog baby and the girl have a big name?"
"Benefactor, the two of them don't have any big names, and we can't read, so we just have a cheap name to feed, if you don't mind, give them a name. My family name is Rong, and we don't have it, the eldest dog baby was born on the twelfth day of April in the first year of Zhenghe, and the second girl was born at three o'clock on the sixth day of October in the third year of Zhenghe. The man returned.
"Well, I didn't expect the dog to be two months older than me. Since the uncle said it, then I will be cheeky to name the Rong brothers and sisters, the dog baby brother is called Rong Gu Shen, and the girl is called Rong Gu Shirt, okay?" Gu Lai thought about it and said.
"Okay, okay, dog, girl, thank you both. The man hurriedly beckoned to the two children.
"Thank you, benefactor. The two children bowed respectfully to Gu Lai Xi and said, because no one had taught the two of them etiquette, so the movements were very non-standard.
"Hurry up, don't call me a benefactor, my name is Gu Laixi, and my uncle and aunt can call me Xiao Gu. Gu Lai said politely.
"Young Master Xiaogu, if you are tired, give my Xiaobao a big name, he was born on the first day of the sixth month of Zhenghe. The man was embarrassed to make another request.
"Xiao Bao was born in the summer, how about being called Rong Guxia?" said Gu Laixi, who thought briefly for a moment.
"I thank you on behalf of Xiaobao. The man thanked happily.
"Uncle, you don't have to be polite, okay, it's a little late, let's leave first, and we will come back to pick up Rong Gu Shen and Rong Gu Shan in a few days, and your family will be close to each other these days. But if you follow me in the future, it doesn't mean that you won't see each other again, so please don't worry. "Gu Laixi held down the uncle, and he didn't need to come out to send it.
Rong Gu Shen and Rong Gu Shan have been sending a few people to the carriage, until the carriage can no longer be seen before returning home, this day is full of ups and downs, what happened is unimaginable, the family has to digest it well.
Gu Laixi and a few people returned to the Sifang Pavilion, went into the private room to eat, and took a bath, and then turned off the lights early to rest. The next day, it was still dawn, and everyone was drinking porridge in the lobby of the inn while waiting for Uncle Tao's caravan to pass by the door.
"If my expectations are correct, the destination of Uncle Tao's trip should be Chang'an City, hitting the west out of Luoyang, the mountain road is rugged, the environment is difficult, and the conditions are harsh. For the next few days, we quietly tracked the protection not far away. Gu Laixi looked at a few people and arranged, "This morning's test is the marking and tracking of signs, and I will divide you into two groups, and the moon clothes, iron all, and copper locks will be attached to Uncle Tao's caravan with me. The rest of the group, I will give you 20 taels of silver, stay in the Sifang Pavilion for one more day, set off to gather with us tomorrow, led by the three artillery, Yinsuo and Kong Ping cooperated, I will not leave any information for you, it is all up to you to interpret the marks left by a few of them, by the way, do not leave false marks to mislead others, in addition, during the tracking period, you are not allowed to use tokens to contact each other, but if there is any problem that cannot be solved, you can contact me in time, but this mission is considered a failure. After the meeting, the two of you will exchange tasks in the next town, and the best team will be rewarded with 1000 points each. β
"In addition, there are additional tasks, on the way to track, collect 100 fresh snake gall bladders, 50 kinds of herbs, as well as 10 catties of edible mushrooms and 10 catties of poisonous mushrooms dried with internal force, the more types there are, the more rewards. β
Gu Laixi chattered, and finally waited for the caravan of seven people to pass by the street in front of the Sifang Pavilion, a few people drank another bowl of tea, Gu Laixi four checked out and left, Chen Sanpao and the three of them paid for another day, and went upstairs for a meeting to study.
The four of them followed the caravan from afar, "killing all the snakes they saw along the way, collecting wild vegetables and mushrooms, and catching some game by the way, and each of them cooked a dish to taste while resting." In addition, special care should be taken not to be discovered. Gu Lai smiled evilly and said to a few apprentices, "Don't be merciful, this is competition!"
Gu Laixi didn't have any guidance, just followed casually, Tao Yueyi and the three of them discussed a few words, and saw Tao Yueyi go around a long way and ran to the front of the caravan to explore the way, Hu Tiequan left various marks from time to time, and the copper lock was mainly responsible for collecting. Although several people were busy, they did not make any sound.
"Oh, there are 5 little rabbits in this female rabbit's belly, it's too cruel, quickly heal it and release it, don't use the pill I gave you, and you can't exchange points, go quickly." Gu Lai glanced at the rabbit caught by the copper lock, and said with disgust.
After Hu Tiequan marked a big tree, he dug a trap not far away, turned around and clapped his hands, and saw Gu Laixi looking at him with a smile on his face, and immediately turned the corners of his mouth to the side, and smiled at Gu Laixi, his eyes were full of "You know~".
After a day of nothing, Uncle Tao's caravan rushed in a moment before the gate of Mianchi County closed, and ten minutes later, the figures of the four people appeared under the city, "Turn over, don't be found." Gu Laixi said this sentence as calmly as saying "it's time to eat".
Hu Tiequan and the others looked up at the more than ten meters high city wall and swallowed their saliva, first Tao Yueyi evenly concentrated the spiritual power to the sole of the shoe, relying on the adsorption force to stick to the wall, and rushed to the edge of the city wall in three steps. Hu Tiequan was okay, kicked on the ground suddenly, jumped up and jumped up, only borrowed force once in the middle, grabbed the battlement with his hand, saw the patrol soldiers in the distance had turned around and walked towards him, turned around and signaled the copper lock not to move, about 6 breaths later, when the soldiers turned their backs to them again, quickly signaled the copper lock, the copper lock gritted his teeth, learned from Hu Tiequan, and also stepped hard, rushed to the city wall, but when borrowing force, the foot suddenly slipped, almost failed to stabilize, quickly adjusted the state, and found a little bit to borrow force again, a vertical body, rushed to the edge of the city wallγ The three of them waited a little longer, nodded to each other, turned over the city wall, and finally entered the city without danger. Gu Laixi watched a few arrive safely, only lightly under his feet, as if he had flown up, and without touching the city wall, he fell directly into the city and stood beside the three of them.
A few people kept up with the caravan, and finally chose an inn that looked good not far from the caravan, there were not many guests, and after a few people booked a room, they sat in the lobby and ordered a few side dishes.
"Well, today's performance is good, you have cooperated very well, the next road is getting more and more difficult to walk, jackals, tigers and leopards, mountain bandits and rogues may also appear, the real test has just begun, are you afraid?" Gu Lai took a sip of hair, smacked his lips, and asked the apprentices with interest.
